Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Great & diverse company, with friendly staff and plenty of other apprentices around the business you don't feel like you stand out from the crowd for being and apprentice compared to companies where there are much fewer apprentices.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Get in contact with the "local support group" a independent group largely made up of BAE apprentices and graduates who made large moves for the opportunity to work and use their experience do help and give advice to others looking to do the same.
